Many have complained about the charter schools and yes, sometimes privatized charter school can be criticized by the word “private”. However, Newark Mayor Cory Booker, who visited the People’s Preparatory School for a second time, cut the ribbon to officially open the school with dignitaries, teachers and students.
They have called the students the class of 2019. The pupils are all in the ninth grade, and they will be graduating from the schools in 2015. So why do they call them the class of 2019? Because their goal is not to leave the students after high school, but to guide them if necessary during their college years, and the students in ninth grade will be graduating from college in the year 2019.
They don’t want their students to just only graduate from high school, but to continue their studies and finish college as planned at the beginning of the school. It’s a great challenge, and it requires the support of students, parents and teachers with a long commitment.
